Pathway to College Admissions for Students with LD and ADHD

Tuesday, October 3, 2017 -

6:30pm to 8:00pm

This program is designed for both parents and high school students to attend together. College admissions can be a long and confusing process for any student. Students with learning disabilities and ADHD have even more steps to follow on their path to admissions.

The program will provide you and your child with the steps he or she can take each year, beginning in 9th grade, to help plan for the college admissions process. Checklists organized by grade, tools and resources will be shared that are particularly geared towards the admissions process for students with LD and/or ADHD. Families will leave with a clear understanding of the types of supports that are available at the post secondary level and how to access them.

"We had been contributing to a college fund for Avi, but by the end of fourth grade we realized that if something didn’t change, we would never need that money. We had a complete educational assessment done, and when Avi heard the diagnoses of dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD, she cried tears of relief. Now we had something we could work with!” - Tiphanie, parent of 2016 Springer graduate
